Hope Clarke, Melissa Leo and Mackenzie Phillips will leave Eve Ensler's Off-Broadway hit The Vagina Monologues on July 7 as scheduled. They began their run on May 28 They stay through July 7.

Phillips remains best known for playing one of the daughters on the television sitcom "One Day at a Time." Mackenzie Phillips starred in the L.A. version of Eve Ensler's collection of serious and comic monologues about women and their feelings about themselves, their sex lives and the part of their body that is seldom talked about. Also on stage with her in L.A. was her stepmom, actress and former member of "The Mamas and the Papas," Michelle Phillips. Ensler recently starred in an HBO version of the project. The work began in New York featuring Ensler reading the monologues she had created from interviews with women from around the world.

Sherri Parker Lee, Peggy Lipton and Sonia Manzano will be the next trio of actresses to star in the Off Broadway play. They will begin their run on July 9 and stay until Aug. 18. Lee is best known to New York theatregoers as the sole female lead in the Tennessee Williams' prison drama Not About Nightingales. Lipton made her name as a cool, youthful crime-buster in the '60s series "The Mod Squad." A couple decades later, she scored again with David Lynch's cryptic TV program "Twin Peaks." Finally, with The Vagina Monologues, Monzano will get to talk about some things she doesn't get to while working her regular acting gig—as Maria on "Sesame Street," a part she's played for 30 years.
